Corncroft stands on the corner of the Crofts and Corn Street and was once known as ‘Parliament House’. A possible source for this evocative name comes from J.A. Giles’ History of Witney’. It is suggested that Witney is derived from the Anglo-Saxon names of, Witan-ige or Witan-eye, which meant “Island of the Parliament’.

It has also been suggested that James I held a Parliament here in Witney, and the venue wherein this supposed Parliament was held would naturally enough have taken the name ‘Parliament House’.

“Stayed here for two nights, will go again, nothing too much trouble, the owner even

took us to his local and had a beer with us. Spotlessly clean, a little more up market
than your average guest house. We had a great stay”
Simon Evans

Witney was first recorded in AD 969, though there is evidence of both Iron Age and Roman settlements in the area. By the end of the Middle Ages
Witney was a lively market town with a developing industry making blankets and gloves and by 1800 there were five working mills in and around Witney.
Today Witney is home to an impressive selection of independent and specialist shops and over 40 pubs, coffee shops and bars. Corncroft Guest House is an ideal
base to explore nearby Burford and the Cotswolds or perhaps Blenheim Palace, Oxford or even Cirencester, Stratford upon - Avon and Cheltenham.

The Marriotts Walk development brought a new retail area to Witney in 2009, with stores like Debenhams, Marks & Spencer and New Look it has become an important addition to Witney’s shopping facilities.
